A couple Conder tokens for your consideration: [IMG] And this one, where my avatar comes from: [IMG]
That George+Dragon design is by A.G. Wyon from his work on a 1910 George V pattern. The pattern was only minted in a quantity of 2 pieces in...
For the Roosie dime - 4.6 For the 1883 Morgan - 5.2 (too much yellow for higher IMO)
I just put in an order of slab boxes from Wizard. The plastic boxes from NGC and PCGS are too wasteful on space for a SDB. I can fit nearly 350...
It's a cool coin of Queen Victoria's grandson...
The obverse of that medal has some truly stunning engraving!
If it grades out at MS64 you can probably get $200+ if you take stellar photos and are patient.
I agree, presuming there are no hidden problems in those photos (they aren't the best from the eBay seller) - I'd peg it for an MS64 grade also....
@expat you should be able to use manual focus. Also, make sure you are at least the minimum working distance away determined by whatever lens...
I was thinking more of an acetone bath. A dip could accidentally ruin the whole coin's look. Tread lightly I guess. As long as they aren't PVC...

Yes, you are 100% correct. A true axially lit photograph blocks all side lighting, and the only light reaching the camera sensor is that...

You mean like this 1983 example? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373124602488
Just found this cool little medal in the past week. My photos below: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think the spotting on the reverse was showing up much more pronounced in your photos than in the PCGS photos. It almost looks like pitting in...
You mean awful Blue ANACS - not NGC. That coin has a very peculiar toning spectrum. I don't mean peculiar in the "questionable" sense, but you...
I didn’t state an opinion. I stated a fact.
Not on your coin. I see it rather commonly in PCGS graded holders on coins they call “brown”. I was making a point to @lordmarcovan not to you.
Separate names with a comma.
